How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)

How would you like to trade a market where you get large regular price swings every 10 minutes in the afternoon, seven days a week. A
market where all prices are set purely by supply and demand, few transaction costs, no middle men and you only pay commission if you win? Where you can freely act as a market maker and where you have direct market access and where you can create a spread for others to take?

Betfair has revolutionised the betting market and created an open platform for exchanging risk on sports events. This market is now viewed much more like a traditional financial risk market than an old fashioned betting market. Smart users have realised that there are huge opportunities on Betfair because they can buy and sell risk in much the same way they would in a normal financial market but without the burden of cost or the restricted access that is usually associated with traditional financial markets.

I was scalping most of it but laid the aussies at 1.06 for half my profit :-(

Now a lesson in not banking profits and the sun on my screen, grrrr.

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 11:48 - 8208 of 10502

Break back point

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 11:49 - 8209 of 10502

1 break each

come on baggy

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 11:52 - 8210 of 10502

nicely in profit

really should green up but fancy baggy to win this now

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 11:59 - 8211 of 10502

Nalbandian breaks again

compoundup - 26 Jan 2006 12:01 - 8212 of 10502

What a match. Would rather your book Steve, win or zero. I cut my risk before Bag broke serve so I'm zero or loss on Bag.

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:02 - 8213 of 10502

Edward

just laid Nalbandian again - now it is time to go green and enjoy the tennis i think

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:03 - 8214 of 10502

Has to be said, 1 of the theories i have been looking at is lay the server in the game market if the match goes to a decider - oh i wish i had done in this match - 4 breaks in 7 games lol

Scripophilist - 26 Jan 2006 12:03 - 8215 of 10502

Classic match!

One of the things I have indentified, rather obvioulsy in hindsight, is that the later the match gets the more wild the odds swing. So I'd book any profit you catch when you can at this point.

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:05 - 8216 of 10502

Come on baggy

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:07 - 8217 of 10502

We got flip flopping favs

come on baggy break him now!

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:08 - 8218 of 10502

Get in baggy (sorry Edward)

i promise i am now going green for the last time and sitting on my hands

Scripophilist - 26 Jan 2006 12:09 - 8219 of 10502

One more twist on this one surely?

compoundup - 26 Jan 2006 12:10 - 8220 of 10502

Amazing, just look at the money pouring in.

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:10 - 8221 of 10502

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:11 - 8222 of 10502

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:11 - 8223 of 10502

Fundamentalist - 26 Jan 2006 12:11 - 8224 of 10502

Bet that wasnt the twist you expected scrip

Scripophilist - 26 Jan 2006 12:11 - 8225 of 10502
